After Bail He Buys Yaba Tablets

Here is a story about the lifestyle of most young men that cause crime in and around Pattaya. Mostly drugs are the main motive for the men to snatch and steal from their victims in order to get enough money to buy drugs.

Knowing this, the police are vigilantly searching known drug related areas and are trying hard to suppress them.

At about half past midnight on 24th April the patrollers and volunteers were together in the infamous Soi Jurarat, Thepprasit, and found two suspicious men driving a motorbike towards them. When the team called the men, at first they tried to avoid being searched but ended up being caught anyway.

The team found 4 Yaba tablets on each of them. They were then immediately taken to Dongtan Sub-station for questioning.

Khomsan, aged 18 and Samart, aged 19, confessed to buying drugs to take. When the police searched their records, it was found that Samart is out on bail from a snatching case in Sattahip.

Samart confessed that he and his friends committed crime because they needed money to buy drugs.

Further proceedings will now be made on these troubled young men.
